Dorowat!

I meant to blog on Wednesday about the yummy meal I made on Tuesday night. I tried a Dorowat recipe in my crockpot. What's Dorowat you ask? Apparently it's an Ethiopian dish! I was searching madly for something to make with stuff I had on hand. So I altered the recipe a bit.

1. Basically you chop a couple onions, brown it in a pan, then add chopped garlic and ginger root.
2. On top of that you add a can of chopped tomatoes and chicken broth. I added LOTs of extra chicken broth because I also added pearl barley and potatoes to the recipe!
3. After bringing the mixture to a boil, pour in your crockpot! Add chicken (I used boneless skinless thighs), I added chopped russet potatoes, and a handful of pearl barley.
4. Spice it all up with a good pinch of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Add a dash of ground cardamom, and a 1/2 tsp of tumeric!
5. Put crockpot on high for 3 hours, then add some hard boiled eggs (I added four). Cook on high for another 45 minutes.

Serve with rice and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and chopped red onions!!

Very very tasty!! And very different flavors than I've had in a main dish in a while.

Some yarns I've been spinning:

Swim Shorts (white corriendale wool, blue merino wool, and bright orange mohair locks! this skein is so wonderfully soft! I'm going to make more of it... I love love it!)

Dirt Cake... you know those cakes that were supposed to look like dirt and had gummi worms in them?! (brown llama fiber, with big bulky merino worms all plied with blue polyester thread)
